Purpose of this Blog...

You may have noticed that not all books are equal in capturing children's imaginations and in cultivating those innocent, tender souls. My goal is to help you find the ones that do!

CHICKS - JUST IN TIME FOR SPRING!

"Spring, summer, winter, fall -
which is the best season on all?"

FUN CHICK CRAFTS:
Pom-Pom chicks are out in stores and ready for Easter crafting.  Martha Stewart LIVING has some cute ideas here.  I especially love the cute plastic Easter eggs that are decorated with sitckers and then filled with a chick and small treat - ready for an Egg Hunt!

Eggs - ready for hunting!

FUN CHICK BOOKS:
Your little ones will love the hilarious antics and photos of COCO THE CHICK - and, who knows, they might even be inspired to make their own diorama scene, if you buy them some pom-pom chicks.  SLOANE TANEN'S books (baby-preschool) with their fun, rhyming text spell F-U-N.  STEFAN HAGEN'S photographs are eye-popping!   Enjoy them all:
